Definitions
- This invention relates to option cards used in computer systems. More particularly, the invention includes a retainer and retaining method for securely holding an option card in a properly connected position within a computer system.
- Computer systems such as personal computers commonly include an expansion bus arrangement.
- PCI, ISA, and EISA are examples of expansion bus standards commonly used in personal computer systems.
- These expansion bus arrangements allow additional electrical components and circuitry to be added to the computer system to increase or enhance system capabilities.
- the additional circuitry is mounted on a printed circuit board commonly referred to as an option card (also known as an expansion card or add-on card).
- Option cards include a connector strip along one side of the printed circuit board. This connector strip is adapted to be received in a connector slot associated with the expansion bus.
- An expansion bus arrangement associated with a computer system commonly includes several option card connectors, each having a connector slot for receiving the connector strip edge of an option card.
- the option card When an option card is properly received in a slot-type option card connector, electrical pads mounted on the connector strip of the card make electrical contact with receiving elements mounted within the connector slot. The frictional engagement between the connector strip and receiving elements in the connector slot also holds the card in place.
- the option card includes an additional mechanical connector at one end. This additional mechanical connector connects the option card to a frame in which the slot connector is mounted. The additional mechanical connection may be made with a screw or other fastening device, and is intended to help hold the option card in a properly connected position in the respective connector slot.
- connection between the option card connector strip and the connector slot is critical to the proper operation of the system.
- the option card and computer system cannot operate properly.
- An option card connector strip may become dislodged from its connector slot in any number of ways. In some cases, the connector strip comes loose from its connector slot as the computer system is transported or handled. Also, where the frame is misaligned with the system motherboard, mechanically connecting the option card to the frame may pull one end of the connector strip from the connector slot. Regardless of the manner in which an option card becomes dislodged, the resultant error in the computer system commonly results in a service call from the customer and may lead to customer dissatisfaction with the computer system.
- An option card retainer includes first and second elongated leg members.
- the upper ends of the two elongated leg members are generally aligned in a spaced apart relationship and connected together by a bridge structure.
- a clip structure is located at a lower end of each respective leg and includes a protuberance extending generally inwardly toward the opposite leg.
- the retainer also includes a biasing device. The biasing device is located beneath the bridge structure and between the upper ends of the two spaced apart leg members.
- the option card retaining method includes placing the retainer over an option card which has preferably already been properly connected in the option card connector.
- the retainer is placed over the card with one leg on either side of the card and the bridge structure generally centered over the top edge of the card.
- the method includes applying an installation force downwardly to the top of the bridge structure to press the retainer down and compress the biasing device between the bridge structure and the top edge of the option card.
- the installation force presses the retainer downwardly sufficiently to allow the clip structures to move into engagement with the underside of the option card connector on either side of the connector.
- the clip structure engagement with the underside of the option card connector prevents the biasing device from returning to an uncompressed condition. Rather, the partially compressed biasing device applies a continuous force on the retainer, pulling the clip structures into a gripping engagement with the underside of the option card connector.
- the legs and bridge structure are integrally formed from a somewhat resilient plastic material.
- the two legs are angled with respect to each other so as to converge toward their lower ends. This angled arrangement of the legs and resiliency of the leg material causes the clip structures to move to a position under the option card connector so as to engage the underside of the connector.
- the preferred biasing device comprises a piece of compressible and resilient foam material secured to a lower side of the bridge structure.
- the foam material preferably includes an elongated indentation adapted to align with the top edge of the option card when the retainer is properly positioned over the option card.
- FIG. 1 is a view in perspective of an option card retainer embodying the principles of the invention.
- FIG. 2 is a view in section taken along line 2 — 2 in FIG. 1 .
- FIG. 3 is an end view of the retainer loosely positioned over an option card and option card connector.
- FIG. 4 is a partial end view similar to FIG. 3, but with the retainer installed over the option card and option card connector.
- FIG. 5 is a view in perspective showing the retainer installed over the option card and option card connector in a computer system.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate one preferred option card retainer 10 embodying the principles of the invention.
- Retainer 10 is adapted to secure an option card in an option card connector.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 show retainer 10 in a connected position over option card 11 and card connector 12 of computer system 13
- FIG. 3 shows the retainer in a loose, intermediate position over the option card and card connector.
- the retainer 10 according to the invention is described in this disclosure and the following claims in connection with computer system option cards.
- option cards may include video cards, internal modems, SCSI controller cards, and network interface cards, just to name a few examples.
- the invention is not limited to any particular type of option card or any particular type of expansion bus standard such as PCI, ISA, or EISA.
- a retainer according to the invention may be used to retain devices other than computer system option cards.
- the presently disclosed retainer may be used with substantially any electronic card or printed circuit board which is adapted to stand on-edge in a slot-type connector having an accessible underside surface.
- retainer 10 includes a first elongated leg member 14 and a second elongated leg member 15 .
- the two leg members 14 and 15 are spaced apart with their upper ends generally aligned.
- the two leg members 14 and 15 are connected to a bridge structure 16 and extend from a common side 16 a of the bridge structure.
- Common side 16 a comprises the lower side or surface of bridge structure 16 in FIG. 2 .
- First leg member 14 includes a first clip structure 18 at its lower end and second leg member 15 includes a second clip structure 19 at its lower end.
- Retainer 10 also includes a biasing device 20 located beneath bridge structure 16 in an area between the upper ends of legs 14 and 15 .
- bridge structure 16 legs 14 and 15 , and clip structures 18 and 19 are all preferably formed integrally from a suitable plastic such has nylon, for example.
- bridge structure 16 may comprise a generally U-shaped member and leg members 14 and 15 may extend at an angle to each other and converge toward their lower ends when in a relaxed state.
- the resiliency of the material from which the bridge structure 16 and/or the leg members 14 and 15 are formed allows the legs to flex outwardly as retainer 10 is installed over the option card connector 12 (in FIGS. 3 through 5) and causes clip structures 18 and 19 to snap inwardly to facilitate the desired engagement with the option card connector as shown in FIG. 4 .
- Each clip structure 18 and 19 comprises a protuberance extending generally inwardly toward the opposite leg member.
- Each clip structure includes an upper surface 22 extending generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the respective leg member.
- Each clip structure also preferably includes a lower beveled surface 23 . The lower beveled surface 23 cooperates with the slot connector 12 (shown in FIGS. 3 through 5) to help flex the respective leg member outwardly as retainer 10 is lowered to the intermediate position shown in FIG. 3 .
- biasing device 20 comprises a piece of resilient and compressible foam material.
- the foam material may be secured in place beneath bridge structure 16 with a suitable adhesive material or with any other fastening means.
- An elongated indentation 25 is preferably formed on the lower surface of the foam material. Indentation 25 extends along an axis located at a midpoint of the foam material and bridge structure 16 , in position to receive a top edge 26 of option card 11 as retainer 10 is connected over the option card as shown in FIGS. 3 through 5.
- the simple resilient foam material comprises the preferred biasing device, other biasing arrangements such as coil or leaf spring devices may be used alternatively to the foam material. These spring devices and any other biasing device adapted to provide the biasing force between retainer 10 and option card 11 are to be considered equivalents to the foam material shown in the figures for purposes of example.
- retainer 10 to retain option card 11 in the desired connected position may be described with particular reference to FIGS. 3, 4 , and 5 .
- Retainer 10 is first positioned loosely over option card 11 as shown in FIG. 3 .
- Option card 11 has previously been properly seated or connected in its respective option card connector 12 .
- first leg member 14 extends on one side of option card 11 and second leg member 15 extends along the opposite side of the option card.
- Bridge structure 16 is positioned generally over the option card top edge 26 . Referring to FIG. 3, when biasing device 20 is not compressed, legs 14 and 15 are not long enough for the upper surfaces 22 of the two clip structures 18 and 19 to reach the bottom surface or underside 28 of option card connector 12 .
